Hey Reader, Welcome back! This week was dominated by OpenAI's DevDay 2025 announcements, including new Apps in ChatGPT and a ton of new AI Agent creation tools. We'll break all that down for you, plus we'll show you how to use Google's new Computer Use agent for free, share a video with you that will change the way you use ChatGPT, and more. There's a ton to get to today, so let's get right into it... 🪄 App of the Week: Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Use Case: Test-drive an AI that controls websites like a human Link: Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Browserbase Demo (Free, Not Sponsored!) Why you should care: But unlike OpenAI and Claude’s computer use agents, you can try this out for free right now without even having to log in to anything! This is a great way for anyone who hasn’t had experience with computer use agents to get a feel for what they’re capable of doing. Here’s how to use Google’s Browserbase demo of Gemini 2.5 Computer Use Agent:
This demo is a great way to instantly get a feel for what UI-native AI automation can (and more importantly can’t) do. 📰 News That Matters: Every Detail You Need to Know from OpenAI’s Crazy Week Link: OpenAI DevDay 2025 Opening Keynote | OpenAI Livestream Why it matters: Now, we're officially moving into what we're calling the "just do it" era. (There aren't any companies using that slogan yet, right?) OpenAI kicked off DevDay 2025 this week with a keynote presentation filled with a ton of announcements that, when taken together, paint a clear picture of OpenAI's current goal: connecting the dots between where users live (ChatGPT) and where builders get their work done (OpenAI Platform). First up, OpenAI announced new Apps in ChatGPT. Until now, ChatGPT was only capable of connecting to external apps through plugins, GPT actions, or connectors. Now, you can use apps like Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Figma, Spotify and more directly inside ChatGPT's chat interface. The new Apps in ChatGPT come with built-in discovery too: if you ask ChatGPT to create you a playlist going forward, it will suggest that you use the Spotify app to get it done. All new Apps in ChatGPT are MCP-backed, and developers can start building today with the new Apps SDK, though devs can't submit their apps for public listing until later this year. Next up, OpenAI released a new set of tools called AgentKit. Simply put: everyone talks about agents, but very few AI agents actually survive production and implementation. AgentKit is OpenAI's answer to this issue with a new visual Agent Builder for designing logic and testing workflows, a ChatKit tool to add customizable chat interfaces to your own products, new Evals for Agents to score and optimize behavior, and a Connector Registry to link agents into internal systems and third-party tools. In addition, OpenAI also announced that GPT-5-Codex is out of research preview and is now generally available, plus they've added a new Slack integration for GPT-5-Codex that lets teams ask questions and generate code directly in team Slack threads. And finally, while not part of OpenAI's DevDay plans, Sam Altman gave an important update on the future of Sora 2 via a personal blog post. Going forward, rightsholders will have more granular control over what content can and can't be generated with Sora 2, meaning the wild west days of creating copyright-protected content are coming to an end. Sam also warned that Sora users should expect rapid change in the coming weeks as OpenAI figures out the best path for Sora. OpenAI's annual DevDay is like Christmas for builders, and apparently, builders have been good this year! Get ready for a ton of new AI tools and ChatGPT connections in the coming months. 📝 Prompt of the Week: Learn How to Do Anything on a Computer Prompt Formula: Quick Description: How to Use:
Be sure you've got the device you're working with in front of you, and be ready to learn and apply those teachings as you go! 📽️ Video of the Week: Every Possible Way to Customize ChatGPT in 2025 Most ChatGPT users know by now that customization is key to getting great results. But the personalization options available in ChatGPT have changed dramatically since its introduction in 2023, and many feel overwhelmed and confused about what all the options are and how they interact. That's why we created this video, where Igor shows you every way to customize ChatGPT as of October 2025. This includes personalization options for both the free and paid plans, so no matter how you use ChatGPT, this video will teach you how to set it up to get the best results! 📢 Community Highlight: Discover Your Purpose in 60 Minutes AI Advantage community member Corey Blake unveiled something truly special this week: the launch of his AI-enhanced Purpose Workshop, a project that brings together decades of experience and hundreds of hours of work into one transformative, one-hour journey.
